There was no fairy spirit fluttering and peerless beauty, but instead it was a symbol of the iron-blooded tough man's head, and the blood mixed with mud hanging on his face... "Yang Yang has changed!" Directed by Xu Jizhou and starring Yang Yang and Li Yitong, the military-themed drama "Glory of Special Warfare" was just broadcast, which caused Yang Yang's fans to exclaim, and Yang Yang, who once had a jade-faced and handsome face, changed his appearance and became a soldier with torch-like eyes and perseverance. However, for critics, Yang Yang's performance does not seem to have changed much, slightly stiff, and the aura of the protagonist is too heavy.
Stills from "Special Battle Glory"
Regardless of praise and criticism, for Yang Yang, this is a "change" that has been publicized in advance: Yang Yang, who has always been more idolist and indeed a traffic bearer, has transformed into an iron-blooded special soldier, and as early as more than two years ago, the beginning of the preparation of the series has been pushed by fans and netizens on the hot search.
Whether it is Xiao Zhan, Gong Jun, Ren Jialun or Huang Jingyu, Li Yifeng, more and more actors who have been labeled as "traffic" are transforming through one military drama after another, this time, it is Yang Yang's turn, with this dish that has been on the table, is Yang Yang's transformation successful?
"Special Warfare Glory" has an extremely high-light opening. In a hostage rescue action scene that lasted for more than ten minutes, comrades piled up ladders, leaned down as human bridges, gun battles, hand-to-hand combat, etc. There are many, and the audience seems to be watching action movies such as "Red Sea Operation", "Wolf Warrior", and "Mekong Operation". And with The bullet of Yan Baoyue, played by Yang Yang, the memory flashed in his mind like a movie, and Yan Baoyue's career as a new recruit began.
"Glory of Special Warfare" is based on the novel "The Special Kind of Chinese Special Forces", which tells the story of Yan Baoyue (Yang Yang), who came from a military family and resolutely abandoned his pen to surrender in order to prove himself to his father. As a soldier with good physical fitness and knowledge reserves, "Thorn-headed Soldier" Yan Baoyue finally integrated into the collective and became an excellent special combatant after experiencing several arduous tasks.
The opening chapter of "Glory of Special Warfare" did not give people a surprise, the new recruits joined the army, Yan Baoyue showed a very high personal quality: not like other people waste food, long-distance running will always be the first place will not be tired, and even have strong organizational skills, will arrange comrades to complete long-distance running tasks through groups. These powerful protagonist auras that "stand out from the crowd" have actually been reflected in many episodes in the past. At the beginning, individual abilities were extremely prominent, but they could not integrate into the collective. The plot trend of this template later must be that the protagonist begins to shift from individual consciousness to collective consciousness after experience, so as to achieve growth. "Special Warfare Glory" is not new in the narrative path, but viewers who have watched several military dramas can basically see the ending at a glance.
More importantly, the "thorn-headed soldier" Yan Baoyue presented at the beginning of "Special Battle Glory", the protagonist's aura is too bright, resulting in a feeling of untrustworthiness. Of course, what needs to be mentioned is that this overly domineering name gives people a sense of suspension, and it is no wonder that some viewers complain, dare to feel that this is a net name or a real name? The perfect characters eventually show a feeling of incompatibility with the people around them, and more importantly, in order to set off the male protagonist and his classmate Xiao Yunjie, the screenwriter has pulled down others.
For example, at the beginning, the company commander looked at the car full of food that was wasted, and there were only two seats in a car of people, that is, Yan Baoyue and Xiao Yunjie; the same was true when running, others ran backwards and backwards, four and eight forks, and together, Yan Baoyue and Xiao Yunjie were iron Kong, they could run all the time, and they didn't feel tired... People will be tired and sleepy, but if you force people to be elevated, it will lead to the characters in life becoming gods, the characters are not credible, and the story after that will be difficult to stand up.
Judging from the current evaluations of the audience and netizens, Yang Yang has endured the most attention and controversy. Praisers believe that Yang Yang has contributed a different role this time, leaving a symbolic tough guy's head, always a dark face, and no longer has the many costumes of the past idol dramas, but only military uniforms. Physically speaking, Yang Yang did spend effort, and Yang Yang, who was already tall, went to that station and had the taste of a soldier.
Critics believe that Yang Yang plays everything like the same, always cool and dragging, too tight, but it seems that he is always not in the same channel as others.
Objectively speaking, Yang Yang's performance this time is much better than in the past, and there is no greasy feeling of pretending in the past. For example, in the fight scene in the play, you can see that there are some things in Yang Yang's eyes, fierce enough, and there are some emotional changes. Another example is that the company commander found talking about Ai Qianxue, a staff officer played by Li Yitong, behind his back, let Yan Baoyue shout in the company, and Yang Yang also interpreted the embarrassment and embarrassment of the character.
However, perhaps I want to play this character too well, I feel that Yang Yang's performance is still very tight, straight chest, neck that will not turn, it seems to be urging him to remain handsome all the time, giving people a feeling of excessive force, some deliberate.
To be fair, the story of "Special Battle Glory" is still relatively fascinating, and the core of the soldiers who never give up and be brave is still full of positive energy, and when watching the drama, it will also bring the audience a sense of blood. However, compared with the past "My Regiment Leader My Regiment", "My Brother Is Called Shun slip", "Soldier Assault" and even director Xu Jizhou's "Indelible Fan", etc., it is still slightly inferior, and the protagonist's aura is too powerful, and it gives people a sense of untrustworthiness. How to develop in the future will remain to be seen.
